Poster presentation at Lincoln University Postgraduate Conference 28-29 August 2012 : Where to from here – the new normal?
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
The primary focus for most emerging
researchers is their thesis, but in the
digital
environment
there
are
opportunities to benefit from other
research activities that occur during the
transition from the formation of ideas to
the submitted document.
Having
awareness of prospects beyond the
traditional model of publishing, increases
the likelihood of better recording,
preserving and communicating research
outputs in the digital paradigm.
Contributing to open access initiatives
builds researcher credibility, reputation
and peer esteem, and supports the shared
global research community. The new
normal amplifies the need to Contain,
Protect, and Maximise research outputs
Postgraduate
students
are
encouraged to recognise the value
of the research outputs they
produce while studying for a
higher degree. The digital
publishing environment provides
opportunities for researchers to
add value to their research
portfolio by optimising scholarly
work as it is produced.
